CJohn Posted June 22, 2015 Posted June 22, 2015 All those articles are too old. This will probably happen but in the form of a reboot in 2020+. 1 Quote

TombRaider Posted January 11, 2019 Posted January 11, 2019 (edited) I was waiting for years for part 6 but this makes sense too. 'Final Destination' Reboot in the Works With 'Saw' Franchise Writers (Exclusive) Courtesy of Verve Patrick Melton and Marcus Dunstan New Line is gearing up for another trip with Death. The company is restarting its Final Destination horror franchise, hiring scary movie mavens Patrick Melton and Marcus Dunstan to pen the script. Final Destination proved to be a cornerstone for New Line’s horror business in the early 2000s. The first movie, released in 2000, set up the conceit: a character has a premonition of a horrific and deadly event, cheats his or her own death and saves several other lives’ in the process, only to have Death, as an unpersonified but unstoppable force, come, one by one, for the survivors. The first movie was directed by James Wong and starred Devon Sawa and Ali Larter, making $112 million worldwide on only a $23 million budget. Four more installments followed through 2011, with the franchise balancing shock, blood and giggles while being a consistent moneymaker for New Line, grossing almost $700 million, even as the deaths became more and more elaborate. Plot details for the sixth installment, which is being billed as a re-imagining of the franchise, were not revealed. New Line is one of the few major companies working with horror, which is consistent with its long history, dating back to the A Nightmare on Elm Street years in the 1980s. Now it serving up chills via The Conjuring Universe, with a new Annabelle project being released July 3, and will open the second part of its Stephen King adaptation, It Chapter Two, Sept. 6. Melton and Dunstan are horror vets best known for penning four of the Saw movies. They were winners on season three of Project Greenlight and also wrote Piranha 3DD. The penned the upcoming Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark for CBS Films and are working with horror producers Platinum Dunes on an untitled Christmas horror project set up at Sony and The Reckoning at Paramount. The duo is repped by Verve, Underground, and Bloom Hergott. Edited January 11, 2019 by TombRaider 1 Quote

MCKillswitch123 Posted January 11, 2019 Posted January 11, 2019 (edited) It should be FD6, but whatever, FINAL DESTINATION IS MOTHERFUCKING BACK One of, if not my favorite slasher series for pure fun. All of them are entertaining (even the 4th one which was probably the dullest and least imaginative), but 3 and 5 I especially fawn over. FD3 has one of my favorite Mary ElizaBAE Winstead performances, and fuck it, FD5 is a fucking awesome movie with one of the coolest endings I've ever seen in any film, period. HELL YES.

Krissykins Posted January 11, 2019 Posted January 11, 2019 (edited) Finally!! Although those two writers are atrocious. Their IMDB lists are really shockingly bad. I’m glad it’s not #6, cause 5 wrapped up the first films so perfectly. Edited January 11, 2019 by Krissykins Quote

HELL YES. its not slasher. a slasher would need a person killing multiple people like scream, halloween, urban legend, etc, no? and yeah im scared at the saw writers, they've only written/directed b movies or the bad saw sequels Edited January 11, 2019 by TombRaider Quote
Krissykins Posted January 11, 2019 Posted January 11, 2019 These films have always done really well overseas, and the market has grown. Interstingly, China could allow it since Death isn’t a supernatural force or ghost (which are banned). Quote

Love these films, apart from the 4th. Quote
stephanos13 Posted January 11, 2019 Posted January 11, 2019 Great news! Final Destination is one of my favorite horror franchises. Quote

I know many of you including me wanted FD6 but now that we’re getting a reboot, that ending feels like a perfect conclusion since it brings the series to a circle. Quote
Ryan Reynolds Posted January 12, 2019 Posted January 12, 2019 why a reboot, have any of these movies been connected after part 2 Quote

Final Destination does not have a physical presence as a killer, but it very much has a villain (Death itself) hunting down a number of victims slasher-style. It is a paranormal slasher series. Quote
filmlover Posted January 12, 2019 Posted January 12, 2019 These movies are BIG time guilty pleasures. I’d be down for a revival. Quote
